URGENT ACTION ALERT – Monday, Feb 20th

Urgent Action Needed before 1:00 p.m. Tuesday

H.B. 630 Sexual Orientation & Gender-Bender Legislation

Scheduled for Representative Lane’s Judiciary Subcommittee Meeting
Tuesday, February 21, 2012, 1:00 p.m., State Capitol Room 132

H.B. 630 would require affirmative action in government jobs for almost two dozen sexual orientations and gender identities listed in the American Psychiatric Association and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.  Also, it would legalize many sex acts that have always been crimes in Georgia and throughout the country.

  • H.B. 630 gives “sexual orientation” and “gender identity” civil rights status without defining the terms.  So, two undefined behavioral groups, that include Peeping Toms, flashers, pedophiles and involvement in bestiality, necrophilia, etc., would get civil rights status and could avoid prosecution for sex crimes that could be blamed on gender ID.
  • Webster’s Dictionary defines “gender-bender” as a person who assumes the appearance and demeanor of the opposite sex, i.e. transvestites and transsexuals.
  • States with laws accommodating gender identity allow anyone claiming transgender status to use any public rest room or other public facility anywhere, including churches and religious establishments, unless local law allows religious exemptions.
  • H.B. 630 affects at least nine state and local government employment laws in Georgia.  State and local governments would have to hire, fire, train, compensate and promote to attain workforce “balance” based on aberrant sexual behavior for jobs in public daycare, public schools, group homes, orphanages, foster care, juvenile detention, etc.
  • H.B. 630 requires a culture change that must be defeated.
